I
am getting extremely offended by this liberal meme that attractive
women are nothing more than beauty queens regardless of their
accomplishments. Palin has accomplished more in her short time in
office than most accomplish over entire careers. But none of that
matters; she's pretty, so that's all she is.

Absolute sexism.

I mean, what the hell? Reading the Dowd column
Althouse links would lead one to believe that the only thing Palin has
ever done is enter beauty contests. And Dowd's hardly alone; her
commentary is par for the course.

Democrats, champions of
feminism? Bull. Oh right, the fact that they want to ensure we have the
right to kill our own children, half of them women, in the womb is supposed to trump all. Give me a break.

... and quick to remind us. Don Surber brings us their latest manifestations:

Lefty Bloggers Go After Palin’s Daughter.

My initial reaction to the lefty rumor that Trig Palin
is her grandson and not her son was that it is so absurd that it is a
sign of desperation by Democratic Sen. Barack Obama’s fellow Chicagoan,
Markos Moulitsas, to discredit the campaign of Republican Sen. John
McCain by attacking the daughter of his running mate, Republican Gov.
Sarah Palin.

But her honor is at stake and we should not allow loathsome critters like Markos Moulitsas to go unchallenged.

The odds are high against the mainstream media (and I
am a small tributary to that flow of conventional wisdom) breaking this
story without the aid of Drudge or Rush.

Most reporters like to think of the world as perfect
except for that Republican Attack Machine which brings up inconvenient
truths about Obama hanging out with unrepentant terrorists, Iraqi- and
Syrian-born corrupt millionaires, and whack-job preachers from the
pulpit of hate.

Amanda Carpenter at Townhall:
“Shortly after Palin was announced McCain’s VP, bloggers at the Kos
started ginning up the rumor Palin faked her pregnancy, allegedly to
cover for an illegitimate grandchild, because she looked so fit and
trim in a photo taken a few months before giving birth.”

Two facts: Women over 40 have an increased risk of Down Syndrom children. Nursing loses weight.

Todd Palin
is a veteran oil-field worker and commercial fisherman affectionately
dubbed Alaska's "first dude." He's a man who took college courses but
does not have a degree, yet can hold his own in sophisticated circles,
even hosting a reception for five former Alaska first ladies earlier this month.

A father of five, he's also a four-time winner of the world's
longest snowmobile race, billed as the most grueling. It's a sport the
43-year-old lifelong Alaskan is so passionate about that he's continued
to compete even after his wife took office in December 2006.

In this year's 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog contest, Palin and racing
partner Scott Davis were trying to defend their 2007 championship when
Palin broke his arm in a crash. It was 400 miles from the finish line,
but he refused to quit, coming in fourth, cheered on by the parka-clad
governor waving a checkered flag.

"There are racers who throw in the towel pretty quick, without
broken arms, with just a head cold," executive race director Laura
Bedard said Friday. "This speaks highly of his character."

...

Todd Palin is a highly aggressive competitor but will stop to assist
a rival in trouble, according to Bedard. She said that in last year's
Iron Dog, Palin and Davis helped a racer with broken ribs reach the
next checkpoint before heading on to victory.

Davis, a seven-time Iron Dog winner, could not be reached Friday,
but a worker at his family's concrete block manufacturing business in
Soldotna said Palin often comes into the office during race
preparations. The worker, Vickie Aber, described Todd Palin as a quiet,
unassuming family man not in the least intimidated by his wife's
meteoric rise.

He's not one to boast about his Iron Dog wins, either, Aber said.

There'd be swooning if the man were liberal but since he's married to a conservative now known as the Vice Presidential nominee, he'll be viewed as an impregnating misogynist ne'er-do-well Neanderthal.

Should a Category 3 or better hurricane come barreling down on New Orleans and her surrounding areas at about the same time the Republican convention is about to start, then consider that to be the hand of God:

The Democrats, who had been able to portray Republicans for their
poor response to Hurricane Katrina, may be in a world of hurt as former
Chairman of the DNC Don Fowler seemed to find delight in the fact that
Hurricane Gustav is heading towards New Orleans on the day that the GOP
is set to start their National Convention and formally elect John
McCain their candidate for the general election.

Fowler, who was Charmain of the Democratic National Committee from 1995-1997, stated on camera

"The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start.
[Chuckle] The timing is — at least it appears now that it’ll be there
Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side. [Laughter]
Everything’s cool."

Hurricane Gustav is currently a category 4 Hurricane with winds as
high as 140 miles per hour being currently reported. The path is
heading towards Louisiana and many fear the same type of disaster that
happened in 2005 which ravaged the city of New Orleans because cities
poor levies and the fact that the city sits below sea level.

Needless to say, the vast majority of the electorate will probably
take pleasure at a party looking for political gain from a national
disaster that has the potential to be deadly for many in its path.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore, best-known for his documentaries "Roger and Me" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" told MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermannon
Friday that projections that Hurricane Gustav could hit near New
Orleans on the opening night of the Republican National Convention "is
proof that there is a God in heaven."

...

Moore responded: "I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that
there is a God in heaven. To just have it ... planned at the same time,
that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for Day One of the
Republican convention, up in the Twin Cities, at the top of the
Mississippi River."

These events will, of course, be covered as widely and broadcast as often by our beloved MSM as if some evangelical preacher had said it about the Democratic convention.

I too was wondering if McCain thinks the Hillary Clinton women are really going to vote for Palin? Simply because she is a woman? NOT! Her conservative views are not going to change their vote, except for move them closer to Obama, which is fine with me.

MANY OF US ARE NOW VOTING FOR MAC AND PALIN!!! IT IS WORKING!!!!
Obama and the DNC are going down this November!

the Democratic Party is going to be railroaded on Election Day by it's own party base -- that they disowned!!! LOL
Keep using our posts for reference
The Clintons and the DLC are COMING BACK

my family and i are life long democrats and we are voting for mccain/palin 12 of us anyway

I've been a Democrat all my life and I now support McCain and Palin 100%.

I am as far left as you can get, and I am voting McCain and Palin!

I too am a lifelong democrat that got thrown under the bus by my party
of 22 yrs and by Barack Obama and his merry band of 12yr old
followers.I will be voting McCain/Palin and am damn proud to do so!!!!
It is not "God D**n America" it has become "God D**n the Democrats,for
they know not what they did".

... it is Palin’s character that has us just smitten with her.
She had a problem at school one day so she went to a PTA meeting. She
didn’t like the way things were going so she ran for the PTA and won.
Then she ran for mayor of her hometown — where she played basketball
and met her husband — and won. Then she got disgusted by Alaska
politics and GOP corruption, and as a Republican ran against the corruption in her own party
— and won. And she never whined or complained. She’s happily married,
she’s a tough lady married to a tougher man, and she got there through
hard work and sheer determination.

She’s the conservative
success story, and that is why men and women on the right just LOVE
this pick. Not because she’s a woman, but because she’s Joe, uh, make
that JANE Citizen, and she played by the rules and beat corruption.

For
Conservatives, Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and his Bridge to Nowhere pork
project are the absolute DEATH of conservative principles. These guys
have ruined the Republican party. Sarah Palin went right at them and
beat them senseless.

So it is a mistake to think of her as a
token choice designed to woo Hillary voters. (I’ll think she’ll do some
of that too, mind you.) But McCain is serious about corruption and
reform. He has paid a heavy price in his own party for it — I was
there, and I saw the resentment leveled against him. And I think he
chose Palin because he plans to not only run against Obama, but against
the 9% approval-rating Congress. She is the Real Deal in that regard.

So
as someone who you undoubtedly disagree with on just about everything,
let me close with something from the heart. I don’t like Hillary,
because I don’t like her policies. But just about every conservative I
know thinks she was robbed by the DNC, and that Obama’s nomination was
gamed by the Democratic leadership. So since Hillary is off the ticket
in ‘08, I would ask you to consider this…

There are two
nuclear issues in American politics, and they are The Right to Bear
Arms and Abortion rights. They are the only two issues that cause one
side, or the other, to actually go out and riot in the streets.
You can twiddle with them a little (partial birth bans, assault rifle
bans) but there is no way that Conservatives will EVER be able to make
abortion illegal, and no way for the Liberals to EVER confiscate a
private citizen’s guns.

With that said, I would encourage
you to look at Sarah Palin as what we all hope for: a self-made person
who seems to want to do the right thing. She’s not a Woman VP — she’s
an anti-corruption VP. That’s how we see her. That’s how she deserves
to be seen. She has the enthiastic — actually, incandescant
support of every conservative I know — not because she is a politcal
missile aimed at Hillary voters, but because she embodies the American
dream of the citizen who decided to make a difference.

One
of the earlier posters wondered who would be more misogynistic: McCain
or Obama. Is that a joke? McCain picked her because she is the best
person for the job he has in mind: go clean out Washington from the
inside. The democrats passed on Hillary Clinton — who had been part of
the White House team for eight years and was married to the President
of the United States. The Republicans chose a woman who is married to a
commercial fisherman, because she has shown character, and did what she
set out to do. We’re going to back this woman all the way to the wall.
She’s earned it.

I would hope that would make any woman proud. It certainly made me proud, and I’m a knuckle-dragging, war-mongering Neanderthal.

As I watched and listened to Sarah Palin's speech a few minutes ago, I
was watching and listening intently to what she had to say. But I was
also watching my wife. And within mere minutes of Sarah Palin speaking,
I could see the tears welling up and the barest hint of a smile
crossing my wife's lips, as she remained focused on Sarah Palin and her
words.

My wife frequently looked over at me during the acceptance speech. Not
to simply seek either confirmation or validation from my eyes, but more
so to see if I had noticed her previous considerations and sentiments
slipping more and more as Sarah Palin continued speaking. By the time
that the speech had ended, my wife was visibly teary eyed and as the
pundits immediately began to dissect what they had just witnessed in
Dayton, I looked over at my wife and asked her a simple question. "Who
are you going to vote for?"

My wife is 47 years old and in 25 years of marriage, I have acquired
the ability to read her thoughts from her facial expressions and she
knows this. Just as she knows both her own and my thoughts on politics,
Americanism and the world. My wife looked back at me and tried to couch
her reply...."well I am far more inclined to vote for him now than I
was." Which told me instantly, that she has now made her decision.

And in all honesty, I have to admit that after seeing and hearing Sarah
Palin, I have also made mine. I find myself now in the unique position
of at last having something and someone to vote for in this election,
but more importantly I am now able to look past the immediate present
and see the future that is on the horizon. Those who remember honestly
my remarks of the last several months concerning John McCain, know that
I have held a number of opposing issues with the man and I have
maintained that while I would not vote for Obama, I could not bring
myself to vote for McCain. I am a conservative, not a republican
loyalist. I don't vote party. I vote my principles first and foremost
and the two parties can be damned after that IMO.

But what John McCain did by choosing Sarah Palin over the likes of
Romney and others today, was to finally reach out to those of us, who
like so many of those on the other side, felt that we had been left
behind by both party's parade into November. And you can bet, that the
same thing was felt by millions of supporters of Hillary Clinton and
those on the other side of the isle, who also felt that they were being
railroaded into supporting a party platform and candidate who was not
their own preference and who does not represent the best of their own
ideals and principles.

To say that McCain's choice for VP has conservatives panting is little like saying Al Gore's slightly bent. The buzz is enormous and you're guaranteed to read more about her, certainly here, in the days leading up to the election. Seems the more I read about her, the more appreciative I'm becoming. Beyond doubt, she is worthy.

Lots of dumb to choose from too, whether it be here, here or here on this blog or, of course, over at the Daily Kos:

So it's official - John McCain has thrown a Hail Mary and tapped
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. The trad med types are
ga-ga about what a game-changing choice Palin is. And they're right.
It is a game-changer. The Palin pick takes a race already leaning
toward Obama and pushes it further into his corner.

Why? Because Sarah Palin is the most unqualified VP nominee in modern history, with the possible exception of Admiral Stockdale.

She's worse than Quayle.

After his selection in 1988, Dan Quayle was rightly lambasted as a
dim, inexperienced lightweight with no real pertinent experience who
was named by George H. W. Bush as a gimmick - a case of an old, out-of
touch candidate trying to appear relevant by teaming up with a much
younger pol. Now, Palin's not Quayle - by all accounts, she's quite
bright. But she's fantastically inexperienced, far more so than Quayle
was when he was tapped. And she possesses an attribute far worse than
Quayle's stupidity - she's a big corrupt wheel in Alaska's big corrupt
Republican Party, arguably the most corrupt political apparatus in the
United States.
